Pulp Fiction

Quentin Tarantino · 1994 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

Two hitmen go to recover a briefcase for their employer, a boxer takes money to lose a fight, and a gangster's wife is taken out for the evening by the man who works for her husband. The chapters are shuffled, so people turn up before and after events already seen. Talk as the main event.
